Application filed May 16, 1901. Serial No. 60,447. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID HENEY BARRY, a

citizen of the United States, residing at New:

port, in the county of Newport and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bicycle Supports or ilitests, of which the following is a specifica- My invention relates to improvements in bicycle rests or supports; and the main object of my invention is the provision of a support detachably secured to the frame of a bicycle and so connected and constructed as to be swung into and out of use, said support being adjustable to any height of frame.

Another object of my invention is the provision of a support which will support a bicycle in an upright position and which is the embodiment of simplicity, durability, and cheapness, thus producing a very useful and practical support.

To attain the desired objects, the invention consists of a bicycle support or rest embodying novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, substantially as disclosed herein.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bicycle with mysupport in use. thereon, the same being in dotted lines as when out of use. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the support or rest. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the coupling-sleeve. Fig. 4 is a detail view of a portion of one leg of the support.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the lower inclined tube of a bicycle to which my improvement is secured.

My invention consists of the clamp 2,formed by the two clamping-plates 3, and the lugs 4 to receive bolts to secure the plates upon the tubing of the frame. These plates are also provided with the depending arms 5, to each of which is pivoted or swingingly connected the flat rod or plate 6, having the lower ends diverging. Connected to each of these plates are the slotted segmental arms 7, which are adjustably secured to the clamping-plates by means of the thumb-screws or set-screws 8 to hold the plates 6 at the proper adjustment. The arms 5 are provided with the offsets or lips 9 to steady the plates 6. The plates 6 are also provided each with the long slot 10 and the clip or cleat 11 upon its lower end,

and adjustably sliding in this cleat and also having a similar cleat or clip 12 is the lower extension rod or plate 13, which is also provided with a slot 14. A clamping-screw 15 is employed to hold these plates or rods at their proper adjustment.

Carried by each clam pin g-plate and extending in opposite directions are the coaster tubes or arms 16, which enable my support to answer the purposeof a coaster as well as a support or rest for the bicycle, thus providing a very useful and practical attachment for a bicycle.

From this description, taken in connection with the drawings, the many uses and advantages of my invention will be readily understood andappreciated, and from close observance of the drawings the invention will be clearly understood.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. Abicycle supportor rest, comprisin g two clamping members, arms extending in opposite directions carried by each of said members, a pair of diverging arms or plates pivotally connected to said members, a curved segmental arm connected to each plate, and adj ustably secured to the member, and an adjustable leg or plate connected to each of said diverging arms or plates to whichthe segmental arm is connected.

2. Abicycle support or rest, comprising two clamping members, a pair of diverging arms or plates pivotally connected to one of each of said members, a curved segmental arm concarried by said means, depending armsformed integral with said means and provided with lips near their lower ends, adjustable i In testimony whereof I aifix my signature supporting plates or legs pivoted to said arms in presence of two witnesses.

and lirnited in their movement; by said lips, T and a, segmental plate carried by each plate DAVID HENEY BARRX' and adjustably secured 1-0 the clamping \Vitnessesr means to hold the supper-11in the desired po- RICHARD FITZGERALD, siLion. 'lHos. EMERSON.
